Event Description

It was reported that the patient had been rewarming since 5:40 yesterday in an arctic sun device, but nurse noted patient temperature (pt) was now dropping below the targeted temperature (tt) , patient temperature (pt) was 35.9c, targeted temperature (tt) was 37c, water temperature (wt) was 11.6c, water flow rate (wfr) was 3.1 l/m.4 pads attached with some exposed abdomen.They have changed the targeted temperature (tt) a couple of times trying to get water temperature (wt) to increase.Patient was shivering.Discussed importance of pad coverage and suggested adding universal pad to cover abdomen.Also discussed addressing shivering.Noted use of bair huggers or warm blankets was not contraindicated per their ifu, but to default to their protocol.Verified rewarm patient box was flashing.System diagnostics showed that the outlet monitor temperature (t1) was 7.7c, outlet control temperature (t2) was 7.8c, inlet temperature (t3) was 9.9c, chiller temperature (t4) was 5.9c, water flow rate (wfr) was 2.8 l/m, inlet pressure (ip) was -7 psi, circulation pump command (cpc) was 82 percentage, mixing pump command (mpc) was 100 percentage, heater command (hc) was 0, water reservoir level (wrl) was 5, system hours were 2677.2 and pump hours were 2273.7.Rewarm patient reads from 33c at 0.45c/hr to targeted temperature (tt) was 37c.Had them stop therapy, adjust cool to patient temperature (pt) was to current patient temperature (pt) of 35.9c.Verified rewarm patient box rewarm from 35.9c at 0.45c/hr to 37c.Restarted therapy under rewarm patient.Water temperature (wt) was immediately began rising.After a couple of minutes system diagnostics showed that the outlet monitor temperature (t1) was 19.8c, outlet control temperature (t2) was 19.1c, inlet temperature (t3) was 16.3c, chiller temperature (t4) was 4.5c, water flow rate (wfr) was 2.8 l/m, inlet pressure (ip) was -7.1 psi, circulation pump command (cpc) was 82 percentage, mixing pump command (mpc) was 0, heater command (hc) was 100 percentage.Noted heater was now engaged and water was warming up.Advised to monitor water temperature (wt) was over the next 30 minutes to an hour.If water temperature (wt) did not increase to upper 30s, then call back for additional assistance.
